After a weekend away in Wisconsin my daughter and I were happy to be home. She had another Irish Dance Feis (rhymes with mesh) north of Milwaukee on the coldest and snowiest day of the winter for us so far. We were fortunate to leave early and be able to be ahead of the storm. As we looked out our window Friday night we saw police car lights and cars off the highway in the ditch. As people saw the police car lights they would slam on their brakes and slide on the snow and ice. We were thankful to be inside and not driving in the storm.

The next morning the roads were super messy and there was about 6″ of snow on the ground. It was a misty raining and just plain cold. As she was going into the feis someone told her she was giving off Elsa vibes this morning with the blue and white with all the snow. So we had to take a picture later of her doing her best Elsa from Frozen pose.

But we are back home and life goes on. For some reason everyone likes to eat! What do cold snowy days call for? Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Pure comfort foods.

Verdict:

When after one or two bites your kids ask you why all your meatloaves aren’t this good you know you have a hit on your hands. They all loved the topping which is what made it really different. The topping is almost a sweet and sour sauce. They both liked the tang of the vinegar with the chili sauce. It was yummy.

I served this with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.
